They say all good things must come to an end; we hope not! Although Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker is the last film in the Skywalker saga, we do hope that there are many stories to come, as the galaxies are infinite in the Star Wars universe. Still, we do agree that all good stories should have an epic ending, and although we haven't seen this film, we are sure this is the only way this story may have ended. Now, because we missed it in theaters, we are thrilled that in just a few short weeks, we'll have the opportunity, like many of you, to enjoy all the excitement that only the Star Wars films can bring to the whole family. It's been quite a journey, but hopefully as a whole, not over yet. In the meantime, keep on reading to find out all you need to know about this release, and don't forget to follow us to keep up-to-date on how we are celebrating the arrival of this movie, for come entertainment.
